Mike

Hello all, I did not forget about you. I have not had a computer at home except the laptop and Bri's been using that to play Sims. So an update: Mike is doing well. He has clinic 3 days a week and so far his numbers look good. The dr. released him to eat in public restaurants and he's come back to the Springs a couple times. He finally got his XBox 360 Live to work so he's been distracted by that. Amanda, my sister, has been great. She stays with him in Denver while I stay down here and I go up every night. She will be heading back to NC on Nov. 3 so I will be assuming caregiver duties. He has a bone marrow biopsy scheduled for Nov. 4th to check the donor's cell growth. I will have more information after that meeting. He's still taking a ton of pills - for GVHD and infections. He's off the anxiety meds which is a good thing. Dakota, the dog, has been to Denver a couple times. He has anxiety attacks if left alone in a strange place so we don't leave him in Denver overnight. Bri's doing good. She is gearing up for the mission trip over Spring Break again. They are going back to San Diego so she will be very psyched.
